How often do gutters need to be replaced?

• <div><p>On average, gutters need to be replaced every 20 years. Unprotected gutters in more extreme weather conditions are more prone to breaking and may need to be replaced sooner. Meanwhile, proper maintenance can extend your gutter’s life span even further. That said, proper installation, gutter hangers to provide additional support, and gutter guards or helmets all play an important role in how long your gutters last.</p></div>

Q: Can a gutter have too much slope?

• <div><p>Yes. Excessive pitch in gutters can cause water to flow too rapidly, leading to a decrease in the gutter's water-holding capacity; consequently, during heavy rainstorms, water may awkwardly splash outside the gutters. Ideally, you should aim for a quarter-inch of gutter slope for every 10 feet of gutter run. However, it's important to note that this guideline may vary depending on your home's structure and the type of gutters being installed.</p></div>

Q: How long do zinc gutters last?

• <div><p>Zinc gutters can truly last a lifetime. As one of the strongest materials used for roofing and gutter systems, zinc can last up to 90 years. Even copper gutters don't last as long as zinc gutters. Zinc gutters are a long-lasting investment in both the value and appearance of your home.</p></div>

Q: Does the wrong gutter gauge affect gutter sagging?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/gutter-thickness.htm">gutter gauge</a> is a measurement of the thickness of the gutter material. If you have gutters that are too thick and heavy for the screws and brackets holding them in place, they may sag. Materials that are too thin could suffer damage that leads to sagging. A professional gutter installer can ensure you have the right gutter gauge. </p></div>

Q: Are heated gutters more difficult to maintain?

• <div><p>Heated gutters are significantly easier to maintain than standard gutters. While you will have to check to make sure they&rsquo;re functioning properly and aren&rsquo;t accumulating leaves and other tree debris, you will never have to worry about ice dams, icicle formation, or related gutter damage and repairs, which can get expensive. Heated gutters will require an upfront investment, but it might very well be worth it for the time and potential money you&rsquo;ll save down the road on gutter maintenance.</p></div>

We are very happy with Gutter Covers of Indiana. They resolved the waterfall we were having during heavy rain near our front door! They even cane back at no cost and cleaned off an area where leaves had gathered on the roof. Would definitely use them again and highly recommend them!

They were wonderful. Everything was done when I came home. The garbage bags were out by the curb and the down spouts were flushed out.
